Fly, butterflies, fly, around my churning stomach...

As kickoff grows imminently closer, something I've noticed is that everyone, from the national media, to the philly media, and dallas media, seems to agree that this game will get decided by offensive line play, specifically pass protection, and also blocking for the vaunted multi-headed cowboys running game, without any mention of Westbrook's ability to take over a game himself on the ground. If the Eagles have anything resembling the problems they usually do against 3-4 teams protecting Donovan, I would expect a healthy dose of Westbrook, in addition to carries for Buckhalter, Booker, and Tony Hunt, who could really win people over with a solid performance tonight against a tough group of Cowgirl D-Linemen and Linebackers. I see this game the way I see most every other Eagles game. If they can limit defensive stupidity, it's Westbrook's game to win or lose. That said, I think Dallas needs this game a little more, for no bigger reason than their exceedingly high expectations. Week 2 is week 2, but when the Cowboys are favored to win, it's always an incredibly tense, turbulent atmosphere. Home losses to the Eagles never, ever sit well there. Cowboys 27, Eagles 21.
